"Problem playing last item: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden"

[ghost]

mps-youtube was working fine for 1-2 days after changing the API key, but since yesterday I am getting this error. I have tried changing the API key again too, but it didn't fix this. However, this is not the case with all the videos. Some videos randomly start playing while others always give this error.

I am facing the same issue as well

This is completely true.. this old 403 error is back, but the old way to solve it did not work out for me and decided to remove mps-youtube by now

This is what I tried , and it's working well so far (from #1063)

Nope .. this is not working.. I was doing that every day I used mps-youtube until last Tuesday.. and after that..deleting xxcache.py file from .config/mpsyoutube/ stopped doing that trick in my system

[paulo-sampaio]

creating an api-key on google, with acces to youtube data v3 enabled, and setting it up on ~/.config/mpsyoutube/config.json solved this issue to me.

Today, I could solve this issue upgrading mpsyt 2.8 into mpsyt-git version from AUR arch Linux.. keeping regular updated official mpv and youtube-dl packages in Manjaro Linux 19
